The Board of Directors believes that the separate accompanying fi nancial statements and notes provide a fair view of the Company's fi nancial information. Estimates that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, income and costs, at the reporting date, were used in preparing the accompanying fi nancial statements. The estimates and assumptions used by the Board of Directors were based on the best information available regarding events and transactions in process at the time of approval of the fi nancial statements.

In the preparation and presentation of separate fi nancial statements, the Company declares that it complies with the IAS / IFRS and their interpretations SIC / IFRIC as adopted by the European Union.

The main accounting principles considered by the Company in the preparation of its separate fi nancial statements are stated below. During the year ended 31 December 2011, there were no signifi cant changes in accounting principles applied compared to those considered in the preparation of fi nancial information for the previous year. Additionally, the company did not record material errors in respect of previous years.

INDIVIDUAL ACCOUNTS

The fi nancial statements presented refer to the Company's separate fi nancial statements and were prepared according to the legal terms so that they may be approved at the shareholders general meeting, considering that investments are booked at acquisition cost as explained in note 2.2. The Company will prepare and separately present consolidated fi nancial statements including the fi nancial statements of the companies it controls.

Therefore, equity at 31 December 2011 and net profi t for the year then ended included in these separate fi nancial statements refl ect the effect of consolidating equity and the results of the subsidiary and associated companies based on their fi nancial statements. However, these fi nancial statements do not refl ect the effect of a full consolidation of assets, liabilities, costs and income.

2.2 INVESTMENTS IN SUBSIDIARIES

Investments in subsidiaries are recorded at the acquisition cost net of impairment losses, when applicable.

The investments in subsidiaries are presented in Note 4.

Dividends received from subsidiaries are booked as Share of results of investments in associates and jointly controlled entities.

2.3 TANGIBLE ASSETS

Tangible fi xed assets are recorded at acquisition cost net of depreciation and impairment losses.

Depreciation of the acquisition cost is calculated on a straight-line basis, as from the date the assets are available for operating, at the rates considered most appropriate to depreciate the assets during their estimated economic useful life.

The average depreciation rates used were as follows:

Years
Administrative equipment 5 to 8
Other tangible assets 8

The capital gain/loss resulting from the write-off or disposal of tangible assets is determined by the difference between the sale price and the net book value as of the date of the write-off/disposal. The net book value includes accumulated impairment losses. The resulting accounting capital gain/loss is booked in the income statement under the caption "Other operating income" or "Other operating costs", respectively.

2.4 IMPAIRMENT OF NON-CURRENT ASSETS, EXCEPT GOODWILL

Impairment tests are made as of the fi nancial statements date and whenever a decline in the asset value is identifi ed. Whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is booked to the income statement caption "Amortisation, depreciation and impairment loss on tangible assets".

The recoverable amount is the greater of the net selling price and the value in use. Net selling price is the amount that would be obtained from selling the asset in a transaction between independent knowledgeable parties, less the costs directly attributable to the sale. Value in use corresponds to the present value of the future cash fl ows generated by the asset during its estimated economic useful life. The recoverable amount is estimated for the asset or cash generating unit to which it belongs. The discount rate used refl ects the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) used by the Galp Energia group.

Impairment losses recognised in prior periods are reversed when they no longer exist or have decreased. Such tests are made whenever there are indications that an impairment recognised in an earlier period has reverted. Reversal of impairment is recognised as a decrease in the income statement caption "Amortisation, depreciation and impairment loss of tangible assets". However, impairment losses are only reversed up to the book value that the asset would present (net of amortisation or depreciation), if the impairment loss had not been booked.

2.5 PROVISIONS

Provisions are recorded when, and only when, the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) resulting from a past event, it is probable that an outfl ow of resources embodying economic benefi ts will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are reviewed and adjusted at each balance sheet date so as to refl ect the best estimate at that date. Provisions for restructuring costs are recognised by the Group whenever there is a formal detailed restructuring plan.

During the year ended 31 December 2011, there were no transactions that should be classifi ed as restructuring provisions.

2.6 FOREIGN CURRENCY BALANCES AND TRANSACTIONS

Transactions are recorded in the separate fi nancial statements of subsidiaries in their functional currencies, at the exchange rates in force on the dates of the transactions.

Gains and losses resulting from differences between the exchange rates in force on the dates of the transactions and those prevailing at the date of collection, payment or at the end of the reporting period are recorded as income and expenses, respectively, in the consolidated income statement caption "Exchange gain/(loss)".

As of 31 December 2011 and 2010, the Company had no balances denominated in foreign currency.

2.7 INCOME AND ACCRUAL BASIS

Costs and income are recorded in the period to which they relate, independently of when they are paid or received. Where the actual amounts of costs and income are not known they are estimated.

The "Other current assets" and "Other current liabilities" captions include the costs and income from the current period for which the fi nancial receipt or disbursement will only occur in future periods, as well as fi nancial receipts or disbursements that have already occurred, relating to future periods, and that will be charged to the income statement in the respective periods.

The revenue from dividends is recognized when the right of the Company to recognize the amount is established.

2.8 FINANCIAL COSTS ON LOANS OBTAINED

Financial costs on loans obtained are recorded as fi nancial costs on an accrual basis.

'INDIVIDUAL ACCOUNTS

2.9 INCOME TAX

Since 2001, companies with head offi ces in continental Portugal in which the Group has a participation greater than 90% have been taxed in accordance with the special regime for the taxation of groups of companies, taxable income being determined in Galp Energia, SGPS, S. A.

Deferred taxes are calculated based on the liability method and refl ect the temporary differences between the amounts of assets and liabilities for accounting purposes and their amounts for tax purposes.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated and reviewed annually using the tax rates expected to be in force when the temporary differences revert.

Deferred tax assets are recorded only when there is reasonable expectation of suffi cient future taxable income to use them or whenever there are taxable temporary differences that offset the deductible temporary differences in the period they revert. Temporary differences underlying deferred tax assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date in order to recognise deferred tax assets that were not booked in prior years as they did not fulfi l all requisites and/or to reduce the amounts of deferred tax assets recorded based on the current expectation of their future recovery.

2.10 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Financial assets and liabilities are booked on the balance sheet when the Group becomes a contractual party to the fi nancial instrument.

a) Investments

Investments are classifi ed as follows:

• Investments at fair value through profi t and loss.

Investments at fair value through profi t or loss are classifi ed as current investments, unless they mature in more than 12 months, in which case they are classifi ed as non-current.

All purchases and sales of these investments are recorded on the date of signing the respective purchase and sale contracts, independently of the fi nancial settlement date.

Investments are initially booked at acquisition cost, which is the fair value of the price paid, including transaction costs.

After initial recognition, investments at fair value through profi t or loss are revalued to fair value with reference to their market value at the reporting date, with no deduction for transaction costs which could be incurred upon sale. Equity instruments not listed on a regulated market and where it is not possible to reliably estimate their fair value, are maintained at cost less any non-reversible impairment losses.

Gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value of investments at fair value through profi t and loss are recognised in the income statement.

b) Receivables

Receivables are initially recorded at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost, less any impairment losses, presented in the caption Impairment losses on receivables.

Usually, the amortized cost of these assets does not differ from their nominal value.

c) Equity or liability classifi cation

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classifi ed in accordance with their contractual substance, independently of their legal form.

d) Loans

Loans are booked as liabilities based on the nominal amount received, net of related costs.

Financial costs are calculated at the effective interest rate and recognised in the income statement on an accrual basis.

Financial costs include interest and any arrangement fees incurred relating to the assembly and structuring of the loans.

e) Trade and other payables

Accounts payable are recorded at amortized cost. Usually, the amortized cost of these liabilities does not differ from their nominal value.

f) Derivatives Instruments

Hedge accounting

The Company uses derivative instruments in managing its fi nancial risks as a way to hedge such risks. Derivative instruments to hedge fi nancial risks are not used for trading purposes.

Derivative instruments used by the Company to hedge cash fl ows mainly relate to interest rate hedging instruments on loans obtained. The coeffi cients, calculation conventions, interest rate re-fi xing dates and interest rate hedging instrument repayment schedules are in all ways identical to the conditions established in the underlying contracted loans, and as such represent perfect hedges. Derivatives are booked at fair value trough profi t and loss. Whenever the hedged item is not measured at fair value (namely, borrowings measured at amortized cost), the effective hedge is adjusted in the carrying amount of the hedged item through profi t and loss.

The following criteria are used by the Group to classify derivative instruments as cash fl ow hedging instruments:

  • The hedge is expected to be highly effective in offsetting the changes in the cash fl ow of the hedged risk;
  • The hedging effectiveness can be reliably measured;
  • There is adequate documentation of the hedge at the beginning of the operation; and
  • The hedged transaction is highly probable.

Interest rate hedging instruments are initially booked at cost, and subsequently revalued to fair value, calculated by independent external entities using generally accepted valuation methods (such as "Discounted Cash-fl ows", among others, depending on the type and nature of the fi nancial derivative). Changes in the fair value of these instruments are presented in the equity caption "Hedging reserves", being transferred to the income statement when the hedged instrument affects profi t and loss.

Hedge accounting is discontinued when the derivative instruments mature or are sold. Where the derivative instrument stops qualifying as a hedging instrument, the accumulated fair value differences deferred in the equity caption "Hedging reserves" are transferred to the income statement or added to the book value of the asset which gave rise to the hedging transaction, and subsequent revaluations are recognised directly in the income statement.

A review was made of the Company's existing contracts so as to detect embedded derivatives, namely contractual clauses that could be considered as fi nancial derivatives. No fi nancial derivatives that should be recognised at fair value have been identifi ed.

INDIVIDUAL ACCOUNTS

When embedded derivatives exist in other fi nancial instruments or other contracts, they are recognised as separate derivatives in situations in which the risks and characteristics are not intimately related to the contracts and in situations in which the contracts are not refl ected at fair value with unrealised gains and losses refl ected in the income statement.

g) Cash and cash equivalents

The amounts included in the caption "Cash and cash equivalents" correspond to cash, bank deposits, term deposits and other treasury applications that mature in less than three months, and that can be realised immediately with insignifi cant risk of change in their value.

For cash fl ow statement purposes, the caption "Cash and cash equivalents" also includes bank overdrafts included in the statement of fi nancial position caption "Bank loans and overdrafts".

Realisable assets and liabilities payable in more than one year from the date of the fi nancial statement are classifi ed as non-current assets and non-current liabilities, respectively.

2.12 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Events that occur after the balance sheet date that provide additional information on conditions that existed at the end of the reporting period are recognised in the fi nancial statements. Events that occur after the balance sheet date that provide information on conditions that exist after the balance sheet date, if material, are disclosed in the notes to the fi nancial statements.

2.13 JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of fi nancial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires estimates to be made that affect the recorded amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the end of each year and income and costs recognised each year. The actual results could be different depending on the estimates made.

Certain estimates are considered critical if: (i) the nature of the estimates is considered to be signifi cant due to the level of subjectivity and judgement required to record situations in which there is great uncertainty or are very susceptible to changes in the situation and; (ii) the impact of the estimates on the fi nancial situation or operating performance is signifi cant.

Provisions for contingencies

The fi nal cost of legal processes, settlements and other litigation can vary due to estimates based on different interpretations of the rules, opinions and fi nal assessment of the losses. Consequently, any change in circumstances relating to these types of contingency can have a signifi cant effect on the recorded amount of the provision for contingencies.

2.14 RISK MANAGEMENT AND HEDGING

The Galp Energia Group's operations lead to the exposure to risks of: (i) market risk, as a result of the volatility of prices of oil, natural gas and its derivatives, exchange rates and interest rates; (ii) credit risk as a result of its commercial activity; (iii) liquidity risk as the Group could have diffi culty in obtaining fi nancial resources to cover its commitments.

The Company has an organisation and systems that enable it to identify, measure and control the different risks to which it is exposed and uses several fi nancial instruments to hedge them in accordance with the corporate directives common to the whole Group. The contracting of these instruments is centralised.

The accounting policies explained in this section contain more details of these hedges.

During the year ended 31 December 2011, only material changes required by IFRS 7 - Financial Instruments were disclosed.

2.15 EQUITY

Common shares are classifi ed as equity. The costs directly attributable to the issuance of new shares or other equity instruments are presented as a deduction, net of taxes, of the amount received resulting from the issuance.

The company and several of its subsidiaries are taxed in accordance with the special regime for the taxation of groups of companies, taxable income being determined in Galp Energia, SGPS, S. A.

The following matters could affect income tax payable in the future:

  • (i) In accordance with current Portuguese legislation, corporate income tax returns are subject to review and correction by the tax authorities for a period of four years (Social Security can be reviewed for fi ve years), except when there are tax losses carried forward, tax benefi ts have been granted or there are claims or appeals in progress where, depending on the circumstances, the period can be extended or suspended;
  • (ii) The Group's tax returns for the years 2008 to 2011 are still subject to review. Galp's Board of Directors believes that any corrections arising from inspections by the tax authorities of these tax returns will not have a signifi cant impact on the separate fi nancial statements as of 31 December 2011 and 2010;
  • (iii) In accordance with current tax legislation, gains and losses resulting from recognition of the results of subsidiaries and associated companies through application of the equity method are not considered as income or expenses for corporate income tax purposes in the year they are recognised for accounting purposes. Dividends are taxed in the year they are attributed.

31 • PETROLEUM RESERVES

Not applicable.

32 • FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Risk management

Galp Energia is exposed to several types of risks, market risk (interest rate), liquidity risk and credit risk, inherent to its activity, which affect its fi nancial results.

Market risk

Interest rate risk

The total interest rate position is managed centrally. Interest rate exposure relates mainly to bank loans. The objective of managing interest rate risk is to reduce the volatility of fi nancial costs in the income statement. The interest rate risk management policy is aimed at reducing exposure to variable rates through fi xing interest rate risk on loans, using simple derivatives such as swaps.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is defi ned as the amount by which profi t and/or cash fl ow of the business are affected as a result of the Group's diffi culty in obtaining the fi nancial resources necessary to meet its operating and investment commitments.

The Galp Energia group fi nances itself through cash fl ows generated by its operations and maintains a diversifi ed portfolio of loans. The Group has access to credit amounts that are not fully used but that are at its disposal. These credits can cover all loans that are repayable in 12 months. The available short and medium and long term lines of credit that are not being used are suffi cient to meet any immediate demand.

Credit risk

Credit risk results from potential non-compliance by third parties of contractual obligations to pay and so the risk level depends on the fi nancial credibility of the counterparty.

In addition, counterparty credit risk exists on monetary investments and hedging instruments. Credit risk limits are established by Galp Energia and are implemented in the various business segments. The credit risk limits are defi ned and documented and credit limits for certain counterparties are based on their credit ratings, period of exposure and monetary amount of the exposure to credit risk.

Impairment of accounts receivable is explained in Notes 14 and 15.

33 • CONTINGENT ASSETS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Contingent assets

(i) Following the sale in 1999 of 40% of OPTEP SGPS, S. A.'s share capital, corresponding to 440,000 shares with a nominal value of Euros 5 per share, the base selling price of 189,544 thousand Euros was contractually established, of which 74,818 thousand Euros was attributed to the 093X segment and 114,726 thousand Euros to the E3G/Edinet segment.

The sale by GDP, SGPS, S. A. (currently designated Galp Energia, SGPS, S. A. for purposes of the merger carried out in 2008) and Transgás, S. A. (currently designated Galp Gás Natural, S. A.) to EDP, S. A. was established with the condition that if OPTEP SGPS, S. A., 093X or any other entity directly or indirectly controlled or participated in by EDP sells or in any other way disposes of, to a third party, a participation equivalent to 5% of Optimus, that is 450,000 shares with a nominal value of Euros 5 per share, during a period of 3 years as from the date of signature of the agreement (24 June 1999), the difference between the amount of tEuros 74,818 and the sale price would be divided between the parties, as follows:

tEuros for each 220.000 shares
-- -- -------------------------------- --
tEuros for each 220,000 shares EDP GDP group
Between 37,409 and 42,397 0% 100%
Between 42,397 and 52,373 25% 75%
More than 52,373 75% 25%

On 28 September 2000 GDP SGPS, S. A., Transgás SGPS, S. A. (currently designated GDP Distribuição, SGPS, S. A. for purposes of the merger carried out in 2006), Transgás, S. A. and EDP, S. A. made an amendment to the agreement, under which the deadline for dividing any potential gain on the future sale of Optimus shares was extended to 31 December 2003.

On 22 March 2002 EDP announced the sale of the participation in OPTEP SGPS, S. A., the company that holds a 25.49% participation in Optimus, to Thorn Finance, S. A.. The sales price was fi xed at 315,000 thousand Euros, which means that Thorn Finance valued Optimus at 1,235,779 thousand Euros, which is higher than the value established between the parties, which was 748,197 thousand Euros. Therefore, an upside of 30,253 thousand Euros arose, payable by EDP, S. A., to be divided equally between GDP SGPS, S. A. (merged into Galp Energia SGPS, S. A. effective as of 1 January 2008) and Transgás SGPS, S. A. (currently called GDP Distribuição SGPS, S. A. as a result of the merger in 2006).

As EDP has not agreed to the GDP group's expectations, this account receivable has not been booked.

Pledged guarantees

At 31 December 2011 the pledged guarantees amounted to 51,460 thousand Euros, made up essentially of the following:

  • Guarantees of 50,397 thousand Euros in benefi t of the Tax Administration;
  • Guarantee in the amount of 520 thousand Euros in benefi t of EDP Distribuição de Energia, S. A., to ensure that the company can provide electricity in the Portuguese electricity market;
  • As at 31 December 2011 the Company had Standby letter import credits amounting to USD 12,900 thousand relating to insurance premiums.

The Company has some bank loans contracted with "covenants" that can, if they are called in by the banks, lead to early repayment of the amounts taken. As at 31 December 2011, the medium and long term debt of the Company amounts to € 1.5 billion. Of the total of that debt contracts that contain "covenants" amount to € 1.3 billion. The existing "covenants" embody essentially the ratio covenants in order to monitor the fi nancial situation, including the Company's ability to service its debt. The ratio of Total Net Debt to Consolidated EBITDA is the most used and its value in terms of the Galp Energia group was below the value set in all contracts, except for an EIB loan amounting to € 296 million in which the value set is lower. As such, EIB may demand additional guarantees.

34 • INFORMATION REGARDING ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

Not applicable.

35 • SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

No subsequent events occurred after 31 December 2011, wich have a material impact on the fi nancial statements.

36 • APPROVAL OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The fi nancial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on March 29, 2012.

37 • EXPLANATION ADDED FOR TRANSLATION

We followed the examination of the accounting records, as well as the effectiveness of the risk management, internal control and internal audit systems. We monitored the fulfi llment of the law and of the articles of association. While carrying out our duties, we have never faced any constraints.

We have met several times with the statutory auditor and with the external auditor, monitoring the audit works and the legal certifi cation of the accounts, and supervising these entities' independence and qualifi cation. We have reviewed the legal certifi cation of the accounts and the audit report of the consolidated and separate accounts, with which we agree.

d) the corporate governance report includes all the information required by the article 245-A of the Securities Code.

Taking in consideration the information received by the board of directors and other departments of the Company, as well as the conclusions lay down on the legal certifi cation of the accounts and audit report about the consolidated and separate fi nancial statements, our opinion is that:

  • a) the management report should be approved;
  • b) the consolidated and separate fi nancial statements should be approved;
